    Looks like a stock Ford 8N to me. Almost bought one the other day for $1250.00

    I've seen that. I think it's probably the most logical and natural conversion ever.
    And it's purdy.

    Just go easy in the curves.

    If I remember correctly Dennis Carpenter put out flathead kits for N series tractors also. I rebuilt the flatford 4 cylinder in my 1942 2N tractor. Not super powerful but efficient for what it was designed for. Couldn't imagine a flat 8 in one on these guys. More show than anything. But looks cool as hell.

    That’s most likely factory, neighbor had one. I helped split it to change the clutch, I’m sure it’s the same as a FH V8 , sure looked like it anyways.
